"A synthesis and amplification to those already familiar with Bourdieu's work and a useful introduction for new readers." --Ethics "To read In Other Words is to enjoy a mind that works on many levels at once.

This book may well be just the right introduction to an elegant and important thinker--possibly the most inventive thinker in sociology today."--American Journal of Sociology
